It is not by chance that the memory of crimes for which your own state, rather than external forces, is to blame is called the "difficult past". Recognizing one's own responsibility without shifting it to external or internal enemies, time and circumstances is incredibly difficult psychologically, politically and legally. Only at first glance does it seem that there are many examples of such voluntary rethinking, and that Russia is the only country of its kind that cannot cope with its past. In reality, says memorial culture researcher N. Epple, when it comes to direct successors of criminals and living political reality, there are no such precedents. Even the textomatically exemplary example of Germany, in his opinion, cannot be considered an unqualified success. The book is devoted to a comparison of domestic work on the past with the experience of other countries - Germany, Spain, Argentina, Poland, South Africa, Japan - in order to outline the general principles of such work for the successful healing of collective trauma and the achievement of civil peace in Russia.
